The Fernán Núñez Palace is a palatial building located on Calle Santa Isabel in Madrid, Community of Madrid, Spain, now headquarters of the Foundation of the Spanish Railways.
The building, whose original construction was carried out by Antonio López Aguado, architect of the ducal family, and has been tentatively dated to the last decade of the 18th century, was later rebuilt and enlarged, with a new facade, by the son of the former, the architect Martín López Aguado, around 1847 for Nicolás Osorio y Zayas, 15th Duke of Alburquerque and Duke of Fernán Núñez.
